How do you install a Bump Steer kit?
 
Hi was wondering how to install and measure to install the Bump Steer kit and what benefits I will receive from this.
I am running a 93 Coup with 95 Spindles and Cobra brakes, I have a Ground Pounder Coilover with Eibach 350 lb springs. I have my camber set a -1 1/2 and toe at 0.

Thanks, and just want to say I really like all the pictures you have on your website Drudis man...

The installation is basically just attaching the tierod ends onto the rack. No rocket science here.
THe bumpsteer adjustments are made to get the car NOT to react to changes in compression or rebound (keep alignment at what its set, sort'a).
The benefits are that the car will track like its set to, not variable while driving.

Doh!
I thought you physically meant the bolting-up of the parts. THATS easy. The bumpsteer ADJUSTING is the difficult part.

Thanks
thats alot of information
Too much acturally, I think I will jut try to set mine up the same fashion that some of the other guys are running it at the tracks and then play with it from there on untill I can get someone to do this for me
Thanks Again

Hmmm.... Drawing an imaginary line on the mustangs modified struts suspension seems like it locates the instant center right around the lower balljoint?

Does that seems right?

Since the stang front suspension is located by the top of the strut, the lower control arm and the lower balljoint?
